"We really enjoyed our stay at 'Forest Edge Hotel'. The location is charming with nature and beautiful views all around (I think all rooms have access to a balcony). It's far away enough from the main road that you don't hear any traffic. They also have a lovely pool. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. At least in the room we stayed, there were only power outlets with circular-shaped pins (something to keep in mind if you're used to using square pin adapters). The WIFI...

"+++ Absolutely magnificent place with a wonderful history. The wooden features are beautiful and the bedrooms are outstanding. Wonderful snooker table and fireplaces. Lovely garden where you can sit and enjoy afternoon tea. The staff, especially Sameera, were absolutely excellent- they couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you again Sameera, we will hopefully see you again one day! - Only slight negative is that it could have more photographs of the historical figures or building itself going up the...

Recent Reviews in Watawala

Carnation Rest

10/10 Excellent

"Few things were super impressive as follows: 1) All the staffs were so helpful, welcoming and always there for us when we needed. 2) If you prefer something that gives you a traditional vibes apart from a concrete high rise building this place is highly recommended. 3) The entire place was neat and clean along with worthy prices. Besides these nothing was found by me which is problematic or annoying. Long story short,I liked staying there."

Araliya Red - Budget friendly Hotel- Where you find stunning 360 panoramic view of Nuwara Eliya

8/10 Good

"Clean room, nice new hotel at a good price. Not near any other dining options without a taxi or tuktuk ride except for a nearby coffee place that was decent. Can walk from there down to the lake, community sports grounds and nearby polo grounds. The horses are feeding on the grass at the sports grounds and are being walked by their riders/grooms. Can walk around the lake."

Tathya Hills - Luxe Garden Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"A Peaceful Home Away From Home Our family absolutely loved our stay at Tathya Hills Luxury Retreat. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. Nestled in the hills just a short drive from the town centre and Lovers Leap Waterfall, the property offers a peaceful escape surrounded by beautiful scenery. Our family room was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for our family of four. The bathroom was well-appointed, and the heater kept the room warm and comfortable during the cooler evenings. Breakfast was served promptly each morning at our requested time and included a simple but satisfying cooked breakfast with toast, jams, tea, and coffee. What really made our stay special was the exceptional hospitality. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always available to help, offering great recommendations on local attractions and places to visit. We also enjoyed spending time in the shared living area, which provided a relaxing space to unwind, with books to read, games to play, and comfortable seating. I would highly recommend Tathya Hills Luxury Retreat to anyone seeking a quiet, relaxing getaway away from the hustle and bustle of town and the standard hotel experience. It’s a wonderful place to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of the area."

Cloud Nine Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely venue and a beautiful town. We had two nights here. The first was in a large family room in the basement, which was a little bit musty. But it was spacious and I appreciated that. The next night we moved upstairs to two large rooms with en suite. They were much more comfortable and lovely views. The breakfast was very nice and generous. The staff were very helpful."

Ceylon Tea Trails - Relais and Chateaux - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The location of this resort is stunning, just beautiful. The service is superb. The food is amazing. And the cottage itself was tastefully recreated. We enjoyed walking the tea trails - just expect to make an effort on the plantation hills. We also relaxed and enjoyed the hotel every afternoon. They will do anything to make your stay as perfect as possible. It was an ideal stay for us. "
